The Grand Island Daily.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June Ito the
Editor of the BEE: Your Grand Island
correspondent mentioned several times
that arrangements were made here to
start a tirst-class daily paper. 1t seems
that your correspondent is not very we'll
acquainted with our affairs and with our
men. We have first. .class daily paper,
the Daily Independent, which gives good
satisfaction to nearly the whole of Grand
Islands citizens, with the exception only
Of little railroad clique, which smarts
under the Independents lash. This very
same clique undertook last year to estab-
lsh daily railroad paper. They induced
the Grand Island railroad organ, the
Times. to run daily, and they just put
in all the money and all the talent they
could command. The railroad daily was
started last year about the end of April,
and with u good flourish of trumpets an
nounced that 1t was going to make Grand
Island and Hall county stalwart repub-
lican country, and that it would kill off
the liberal republicans, including Van
Wyck and the Grand Island Indepcndent
1t opposed also, in more underhanded
election of Governor Thayer. the ex-
pertinent was complete failure, showing
that Grand Island is not large enough to
support two dailles, and that the Inde.
pendent is too solid and too well edited
to suffer any from such railroad competi-
ton. Within about six months, right
after last falls election. the railroad daily
of the Times collapsed without fulfilling
any of its great hopes and promises.
The railroad clique last fall was de-
feated all around IN the Hall county cleo
ton, for which they are indebted to the
interchangeable efforts of the Independ-
ent and the liberal republicans. Since
that time these defeated little ''big guns"
Of the railroad persuasion are putting
their heads together, trying to concoct
plans of revenge and future greatness,
and now and then they issue through
your innocent" CORRESPONDENT cry for
"first-class Grand Island daily" They
are not the men to sacrifice themselves
thousands of dollars for the support of
their new "iirst-class' railroad organ,
nor do they have the brains to fight the
good daily we have. But under the
cover of the BEE, which is known rs q
liberal paper, they probably hope to get
hold OF some innocent victims, which
would mako for them the necessary sac
rifices, and help our railroad friends into
positions of honor and profit. They will
have to hoe a hard row, though, in try
ing to down the independent and the
liberal elements OF Hall county, for
which purpose they started their unfor.
tunate last years Daily of the Times.

Ge Gives Grand Army Men a Pic
of His Mind.


ST. LOUIS, June 11.-General Noble and
Colonel Dyer, two prominent members OF the
Grand Army. received a long letter to-day
from General Sherman, In which he discusses
at some length the recent muddlc regarding
the Invitation to President Cleveland to visit
ST. Louis during the encampment next fall.
After reviewing the many stories which have
been disseminated throughout the press,
General. Sherman says: Tho idea of the
president being insulted, much less
endangered, should he be on the stand
alongside our ommander-in.chief, General
Falrohild, when the Grand Army is passing
in review, seems to me monstrous. think
l know the Iowa boys too well to believe
such thing possible. Brave men are never
ungenerous, and will pledge my life that
act. and should MIR. Cleveland accept the in
vitation, which hope he will, to attend the
parade, ! will stand by his side or
march past pNtoroa in thS ranEEl
Inotice with pain that the presidents action
in certain pension bills enters into this un
happy controversy. There were many
private bills and one of general nature
can only account for his judgement by his
own conception of duty and to
sli sbbm,t God We, as Soc,nsS soldiers must St
AoN' HOt Cdll
ever be too charitable to the old soldiers and
had been near Mr.. Cleveland would not
have yenturcd to advise him on tho gen eral
bill, but as to private cases 1 would have
said that charity enters largely into pen
slons and when any special bills have
passed the ordeals of committees, approve
them, but on the general bill exercise your
full constitutional power. Honest men differ
widely on this question of pensions to our
old and feeble comrades. We all want to do
what Is right, but differ as to means. All
we know Is that twenty odd years after the
civil war the government of the United
States under republican and democratic
rule pays out to our soldiers of the union
army about 100000, 900 year, a few thou
sand to Mexican war veterans regardless of
locality, and not one cent to the rebels of the
south. We old soldiers of the civil war have
not yet just cause to- make an issue on the
question OF pensions to our infrm
and wounded comrades. 1 advise you to go
right along and prepare the way for the
Grand Army at its session in st. Louis, and
receive them as they deserve, as honored
guests, also the president of the United
States, with such .honored guests as may
grace the OCCASION"
